Summary

Battlefield Communications explores how military communication evolved from simple signals to today's complex digital networks. It argues that advancements in battlefield communications have not just made information faster, but have fundamentally reshaped warfare by enabling new command structures, enhancing awareness, and creating vulnerabilities. The book highlights that understanding the progression of military communication is key to grasping modern warfare's complexities and achieving information superiority.

 
The book progresses chronologically and thematically, beginning with early signaling methods and tracing the evolution through the telegraph, radio, and digital systems. Key insights include how the advent of Morse code enabled near-instantaneous long-distance communication and how digital communication transformed warfare.

 
Through case studies of battles, the book demonstrates how communication breakdowns and successes impact military outcomes, providing a unique focus on the human element of soldiers and commanders relying on these systems in high-pressure situations. This analysis makes Battlefield Communications valuable for military historians, defense professionals, and technology enthusiasts alike.

 
By examining military archives, technical manuals, and personal accounts, the book offers lessons applicable to military planners and policymakers, examining the balance between centralized control and the ethical implications of AI in communication.

The Palestine Laboratory - How...

Antony Loewenstein

** Winner of the 2023 Walkley Book Award for Non-fiction Journalism ** 
** Shortlisted for the 2023 Moore Prize for Human Rights Writing ** 
Israel’s military industrial complex uses the occupied, Palestinian territories as a testing ground for weaponry and surveillance technology that they then export around the world to despots and democracies. For more than 50 years, occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has given the Israeli state invaluable experience in controlling an “enemy” population, the Palestinians. It’s here that they have perfected the architecture of control. 
 
Best-selling journalist Antony Loewenstein, author of Disaster Capitalism, uncovers this largely hidden world in a global investigation with secret documents, revealing interviews and on-the-ground reporting. This book shows in-depth, for the first time, how Palestine has become the perfect laboratory for the Israeli military-techno complex: surveillance, home demolitions, indefinite incarceration and brutality to the hi-tech tools that drive the 'Start-up Nation'. From the Pegasus software that hacked Jeff Bezos' and Jamal Khashoggi’s phones, the weapons sold to the Myanmar army that has murdered thousands of Rohingyas and drones used by the European Union to monitor refugees in the Mediterranean who are left to drown.  
Israel has become a global leader in spying technology and defence hardware that fuels the globe’s most brutal conflicts. As ethno-nationalism grows in the 21st century, Israel has built the ultimate model. 
“A sad and sordid record of how "the light unto the nations" became the purveyor of the means of violence and brutal repression from Guatemala to Myanmar and wherever else the opportunity arose.” - Noam Chomsky 
“A sharp exposé of how Israel's suppression of Palestine has translated into lucrative anti-terrorist systems that the Israeli government exports globally...[An] eye-opening delineation of the alarming ramifications of Israel's status as an 'ethnonationalist state.” - Kirkus Reviews

Identity Security for Software...

Uzi Ailon, John Walsh, Matt Barker

Maintaining secrets, credentials, and machine identities in secure ways is an important, though often overlooked, aspect of secure software development. DevOps security often addresses vulnerabilities, but it neglects broader discussions like authentication, authorization, and access control, potentially leaving the door open for breaches. That's where an identity security strategy integrated in your code, infrastructure, and environments from day one can help. 
 
 
 
In this practical book, authors John Walsh, Uzi Ailon, and Matt Barker provide conceptual frameworks, technology overviews, and useful code snippets to bridge the gap between development, IT, and security to integrate robust identity security across apps, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes and cloud native, hybrid and multicloud, process automation, IoT, and more. You'll learn: 
 
 
 
● What developers need to know about managing secrets and identity to build safer apps 
 
 
 
● What machine identities, secrets, and credentials are—and how to secure them 
 
 
 
● How to secure the software supply chain to build safer apps 
 
 
 
● How identity security fits into modern software development practices
